Item Condition

Breath of Fire for the Super Nintendo comes as a loose cartridge, ready to drop into your SNES and play. No box or manual accompanies it, but you're getting the cartridge itself — the actual game — which is exactly what you need to experience one of the most beloved RPGs of the 16-bit era. Coolection's team has tested this cartridge and it was playing as expected. Please refer to the provided photos for the exact details of the item's condition.

Item Description

Capcom spent the early '90s ruling arcades and action platformers, so Breath of Fire had something to prove. It was the company's first traditional role-playing game, released on the Super Nintendo in Japan in 1993 and brought to North America by Square, and it showed that Capcom could tell a sprawling fantasy story with the same style it brought to Street Fighter II and Mega Man.

Ryu is one of the last of the Light Dragon clan, a people who can take the form of dragons. When the Dark Dragon empire of Emperor Zog attacks his village and his sister Sara is lost to them, Ryu sets out across the world, and his search grows into a struggle against an empire trying to revive a mad goddess. The dragon transformations are the showpiece. Ryu earns new forms as the adventure unfolds, and calling one into a hard battle can turn the fight on its head.

The party is just as inventive. Nina, the winged princess of Wyndia; Bo, a wolf-like hunter; Karn, a thief who can fuse with other party members; and Gobi, a merchant who can become a giant fish to carry everyone across the sea, all bring field abilities that open new routes through the world. Hunting in the forests, picking locks, digging underground and fishing with a rod become part of exploring, so who travels with you matters as much outside battle as in it.

Its music came from Alph Lyla, Capcom's in-house sound team, and the game launched a series that would carry new versions of Ryu and Nina through five console games and beyond. Capcom later revisited it on the Game Boy Advance in 2001, but the Super Nintendo cartridge is the original, the version that introduced the dragon clan and set the template every sequel built on. Playing it now is a chance to see a great RPG series find its voice for the first time.

About the game

Recognized by Capcom as their first traditional role-playing video game, Breath of Fire would set the precedent for future entries in the series, and features character designs by company head of development Keiji Inafune, as well as music by members of Capcom's in-house sound team Alph Lyla. In 2001, the game was re-released for the Game Boy Advance handheld system with new save features and minor graphical enhancements, with the English version being released in Europe for the first time. Set in a fantasy world, Breath of Fire follows the journey of a boy named Ryu, one of the last surviving members of an ancient race with the ability to transform into mighty dragons, as he searches the world for his sister. During his quest, Ryu meets other warriors who share his quest, and comes into conflict with the Dark Dragon Clan, a militaristic empire who seeks to take over the world by reviving a mad goddess. The game experienced mostly positive reception upon release, and was followed by a direct sequel, Breath of Fire II, in 1994.
